Government support for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2026

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

Patricia Ferguson is securing a Westminster Hall debate on government funding and support for Glasgow's hosting of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. The debate will examine what financial commitment and practical backing the Labour government will provide to ensure the Games run successfully, covering infrastructure, sporting facilities, and event delivery.

The Commonwealth Games is a major international sporting event that affects Scotland's economy, employment, and global reputation. Government support determines whether Glasgow can deliver the Games on budget and on time; inadequate backing risks project delays, cost overruns, and reputational damage to the UK.
